[Therion] Maps-offset New development version

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks Martin

Something might be a bit off however.

Is 'maps' and 'maps-offset' intended to work together or are they mutually
exclusive?

 

maps on

maps-offset off

                select (one or more) maps

This combination produces a pdf output as though only 'maps off' had been
specified.  ie all scraps that exist are exported, not just those that have
been selected.  I was expecting that just the scraps specified in the
selected maps would be exported, so maybe this is a bug?

 

maps on

maps-offset on

                select (one or more) maps

This combination produces an output that seems to match those that we would
get prior to these features being developed, as is intended I presume.

 

maps off

maps-offset on

                select (one or more) maps

I did not know what to expect with this combination as one would seem to
contradict the other.  As far as I can tell, the maps off specification
seems to have been ignored, or perhaps it is overridden by the 'maps-offset
on'.  I get the same map as if both features are 'on'.

 

If I swap the order in the above.

maps-offset on

maps off

                select (one or more) maps

This produces a pdf that matches 'maps off', so I include the order is
important, and the last one specified dominates.

 

So at present, it seems that the 'maps-offset' feature duplicates almost
exactly the 'maps' feature.  I presume this is not what is intended.

 

Also the syntax description in the Therion Book for maps has been swapped
with maps-offset, just to make it interesting perhaps. :)



 

I wonder if the therion.log should report the state of the maps-offset flag,
once it is working?
